Index Stock Imagery Continues to Expand Its Alliances
Through a partnership with POLFOTO, a leading Danish picture agency, Index Stock Imagery, www.indexstock.com, is expanding into Denmark.
According to Kirsten Anker Sørensen , Sales Manager: “POLFOTO is one of the leading photo agencies in Denmark and part of Denmark’s largest media Group, JP/Politikens Hus A/S, which publishes three of Denmark’s largest newspapers: Politiken (founded in 1884), Ekstra Bladet (founded in 1904) and Jyllands-Posten (founded in 1871). Our customers choose POLFOTO because we represent some of Denmark’s leading press photographers. POLFOTO was established in 1959, and our archives go back to the 1860’s.”
“Since spring 2004 POLFOTO has run a news service which supplies newspapers all over the country, with both news and archive photos. Today, POLFOTO controls more than 50% of the Danish newspaper market. Our sales department supplies advertising businesses, the publishing world, individual customers, and weeklies and magazines, with photos of all kinds.”
“At POLFOTO we are very anxious to provide our customers with high quality images, and through our online archives we offer one of the largest photo collections in Denmark. We are known for our professional network and strong support.”
Peter McClusky, VP International at Index states: “Denmark is a growing market, and with relatively few competing picture agencies, it presents a sound opportunity for expanding our marketing. We are pleased to be working with POLFOTO, and look forward to good sales.”
